Brownfield Conversion from EHS Product Safety (ECC) to S/4HANA Product Compliance Classic

[duc_minh]

Hello expert, 

we are planning a brownfield conversion from EHS Product Safety (Dangerous goods and SDS management in ECC) to S/4HANA Product Compliance Classic Functionalities. 

Aside from the activities for the conversion of the SDS Receiver in ECC to Business Partner in S/4, are there other activities to be planned?

I mean necessary activities, so that the following data from ECC will be availble in S/4HANA without any problems: 

• SDS Cover sheet
• uploaded SDS WWI templates from 3E content via CG34
• WWI raw reports of e.g. SDS's (Table DRAO, DRAW)
• initiator of the SDS shipment
  • for example if the ID of the Sales Org/Initiator has been changed for the conversion. For example: in ECC it was Initiator 1000, in S/4 the same initiator has now the ID 2000
• SDS shipment history 
  • if the ID of the Sales Org/Initiator has been changed after the conversion, then the iniator displayed in the SDS shipping history in S/4 needs to be changed as well (to the new ID of the initiator)
    

    Thank you in advance

Hello

you have used the term/sentence "Since for Product compliance it is not easy to find all information, I posted the question here in hope to gain more insight. I want to make sure that I do not forget anything so that the conversion will go smoothly. "

This is not a "good story". The issue is the term "Product Compliance". This term is misleading (or can be misleading).

In R/3 you are using EHS Classic. try to avoid to use the term "product compliance" (there are many conflicts to list if needed).

in S/4 you can use EHS classic or you can use  the new solution called: "Product Compliance" if you believe that the current version satisfies your needs.

I assume: You still will se EHS classic in S/4.

Honestly It is not a good idea only to "migrate" with out the check of: can i "improve/simplify etc." processes. But this depends on your project scope...

Anyhow: i wish you the best or your project

Hello

regarding your topic as:

• CG02 specification (realsub and so on)
• Material Master
• WWI Template 
• generated SDS raw WWI reports
• SDS shipment history (CVD1)
• Customer master data (SDS receiver)

During the S/4 Brownfield Conversion, how would the data cleansing activities look like?

• Will the data be copied during the ECC-to-S4-Conversion and obsolete EHS data can be filtered out with transition tools?
• Or is the only way to do clean up by having an empty S4 system and data need to be manually migrated into the S4 system after cleanup?
• Or do we delete data in the source system by setting deletion marks? So that during the data copy of the ECC-to-S4-Conversion only validated data will be taken over?

As mentioned: the "exact process depends on mand things. In your list i would miss "phrases".

Anyhow: based on your story:

You have an "old" landscatp and you would to use a new landscape

There;

• Will the data be copied during the ECC-to-S4-Conversion and obsolete EHS data can be filtered out with transition tools? 

I am sorry: there is no transition tool

Option one: extract the data via "export" and do "import" in the new system. THIS IS ONLY POSSIBLE IF SET UP IS IDENTICAL

And this is the problem.. in most of the case you would like to ge rid of "useless" data etc.

I am sorry: here we do not have any SAP tool which "really" helps (i skip some suboptions)

Regarding:

• Or is the only way to do clean up by having an empty S4 system and data need to be manually migrated into the S4 system after cleanup?

As i have understood: you will start with an "empty" system: so yes you must migrate (i will not call this "full" manual; but many steps are "afterwork" steps

Regarding:

• Or do we delete data in the source system by setting deletion marks? So that during the data copy of the ECC-to-S4-Conversion only validated data will be taken over?

This helsp to get rid of "unneeded" data before data migration; but still you need to move the data

As mentioned: i am sorry: the exact (may be best approch) depends on many factors

Luckily: Of you just "google": many companies can help fo EHS data migration

I wish you the best
